The nightmare she's running from is nothing compared to where she's
headed.
Tegan is eight months pregnant, alone, and desperately wants to put her
crumbling life in the rearview mirror. So she hits the road, planning
to stay with her brother until she can figure out her next move. But
she doesn't realize she's heading straight into a blizzard.
She never arrives at her destination.
Stranded in rural Maine with a dead car and broken ankle, Tegan worries
she's made a terrible mistake. Then a miracle occurs: she is rescued by
a couple who offers her a room in their warm cabin until the snow
clears.
But something isn't right. Tegan believed she was waiting out the
storm, but as time ticks by, she comes to realize she is in grave
danger. This safe haven isn't what she thought it was, and staying here
may have been her most deadly mistake yet.
And now she must do whatever it takes to save herself―and her unborn
child.
Carl, reeling from the death of his brother, is drowning in
visions. Followed by shadow men through the crumbling outer regions
of the city. Unable to trust those closest to him. Doubting his own
reality. As a wave of brutal, ritualistic gangland killings sweeps
through the underworld, Carl's involvement with a life he thought
he had left behind catches up with him, with terrifying results. In
the Shadow of the Phosphorous Dawn is the raw, brilliant debut
novel from Rob True, operating at the bleeding edge of crime and
psychedelic horror.
Professor Nino Everhard word op sy kombuisvloer wakker met bloed oral. Iemand het ingebreek en hom en sy vrou, Willemien, aangeval, maar niks gesteel nie. Wat wou die aanvaller hê? Nino weet dit was nie toeval nie. Hy is uitgekies. Iemand wou vir hom ’n boodskap stuur. Op sy speurtog na antwoorde lei die leidrade hom op ’n kronkelpad deur sy verlede na die skadukant van die samelewing. Elke tree nader aan die waarheid is ook ’n tree nader aan lewensgevaar. Sal Nino die antwoorde kry waarna hy soek? En hoeveel van sy eie duiwels gaan hom langs die pad inhaal? Die beweging van bloed is ’n naelbytspanningsverhaal wat jou laat raai tot die einde.

Marc Schlosser, 'n huisdokter, begaan 'n mediese fout en as gevolg
daarvan sterf een van sy pasiente. Schlosser moet voor die Mediese
Raad verskyn om verantwoording te doen. Schlosser is nie te
bekommerd oor die Mediese Raad nie: Hy sal seker 'n paar maande
geskors word, wat nie te erg is nie. Wat die saak egter kompliseer,
is dat die pasient 'n baie bekende akteur, Ralph Meier, is, wat
miskien net te veel aandag gegee het aan Schlosser se pragtige
vrou, Caroline. Of hou die hele gedoente verband met wat by die
Meiers se vakansiehuis gebeur het toe die Schlosser-gesin daar op
besoek was? Soos in Die aandete is die hoofkarakter van die verhaal
ook die verteller wat net vertel wat hy wil he die leser moet weet
en so die leser aan die raai hou oor wat werklik gebeur het.

Some secrets are too dangerous to keep . . .
TWO SUSPICIOUS DEATHS
When Dwayne and Alice Odom are killed, the police report states clearly
that it was a drug overdose. So why is their daughter, who was there
when they died, claiming that’s not the truth?
ONE YOUNG SURVIVOR
Betsy Odom doesn’t trust the police but when she finds herself in the
FBI’s custody after her parents’ deaths, she knows she has to be
careful. Her uncle wants to adopt her and as he is a very rich and
powerful man, she wants to let him. His criminal connections, however,
mean the authorities aren’t so sure.
ONE MAN ON THE RUN
Enter Travis Devine. Trying to escape a skilled predator who wants him
dead, Devine finds himself as Betsy’s bodyguard. But when an informant
is found murdered, Devine knows this job is perhaps even more dangerous
than the one he’s running from . . . and the true enemy may be on his
side.

A murder committed on paper, safely within the confines of a novel,
is one thing. To see that same crime in the real world, is
something else entirely. . . Frank Fons is a very successful crime
writer. His novels, famed for their visceral descriptions of
violent death, have made him a household name. But now someone is
copying his crimes. For Frank what once seemed a clever, intriguing
plot twist, has suddenly become a terrifying, blood-spattered
reality. In the novel, a redhead who was scared of water is
drowned. In the mirror-image of the real world, she has become an
ex-girlfriend chained and left to die at the bottom of the harbour.
A corrupt police-officer tortured to death becomes a contact who
dies with fear in his eyes. Someone is taking Franks' fiction and
using it to destroy his life. The writer must become the detective.
In fiction, the bad guy always gets caught, but in real life there
is no such guarantee. Fear becomes real. The knife cut hurts like
hell. Our narrator may not survive. No-one is promising you a happy
ending. For Frank what had once been a game is now a matter of life
and death.
